Businesses in rural parts of the UK are getting a raw deal when it comes to broadband and mobile phone coverage according to Stuart Burgess, chairman of the Rural Communities Commission and the Government’s Rural Advocate.
Dr Burgess goes as far as to claim that coverage is worse than in parts of India and Malawi which isn’t going to please the UK government who have repeatedly been hit with criticism over the UK’s IT infrastructure and skills.
Suggestions as to the way out of this situation include funding for rural entrepreneurs or coverage agreements in telecommunication providers contracts. The report isn’t due to be finished until February, and with the speed that the Government usually works it is unlikely that anything helpful will happen in the near future, but it is good to see that people are at least making an issue out of this.
